"field name provided, does not match an external ID" error in Data Loader cmd

I get the following error in the Data Loader cmd when trying to Upsert some custom object records;
"field name provided, does not match an external ID"

My GCD_ID__c field is categorised as an External ID and the same sdl file works perfectly when i use the Apex Data Loader tool rather than the cmd. So the mappings are definitely correct.

Maybe i am missing something in my xml file?

it is better if you can provide a look at your process-conf.xml   in that you hace to mark your external id field like this  
<entry key="sfdc.externalIdField" value="External_ID__c" />

thanks sura

So I have kept this line in my xml
<entry key="sfdc.entity" value="GCD_Entity__c"/>

But have now insert this below it
            <entry key="sfdc.GCD_ID__c" value="Id" />

"Id" is the column header in my csv file

I get the same error again though. What have i done wrong?

            <entry key="sfdc.externalIdField" value="GCD_ID__c" />
